| Easy Readers |
It's hard to find books at very early reading levels. It is important to give your child books with few words to a page which follow a predictable pattern. These books help build sight word knowledge, they help your child develop concepts about print, and they help your child build confidence and feel like a reader. Throughout the year, I will send some predictable books home, but if you would like more, check out this site. |

| Sight Words |
This site has lists of sight words at different levels, with each level more difficult than the previous level. It also has some game boards that you can print out and ideas of games you can play to make sight word practice fun. Make this fit your child's needs by using a word list which challenges him/her, or by using letters instead of sight words to strengthen letter identification. |
